approximately $6.5 million is donated back into the community. During the 1914–1918 war
years, as wounded veterans returned home, women were asked to help with their recovery by visiting hospitals, sending parcels to the hospitalized and to needy families. It was from these dedicated bands of women that The Royal Canadian Legion Ladies’ Auxiliary was started. In addition, the branches
have Youth Auxiliaries which give the younger folk a chance to volunteer (do I see volunteer hours opportunities needed for high school graduation?) and participate in wide variety of activities. The various branches have
facilities for rent for special occasions, offer catering (the Ladies’ Auxillary usually provides a fantastic meal complete with desserts, or they can take it lighter with sandwiches, cheeses, etc.). There’s a slightly higher price for a non-member than member. Some branches also offer lunch and supper on a regular basis (see your local branch website for details). The Legion is a great place
to meet your neighbours and make new friends. Play darts, shuffleboard, pool, curling or euchre. Participate in various sports activities and functions that help raise money and awareness or are simply just fun. The Legion is also a proud
partner of the Ride for Dad and have started up their own bike club: The Legion Riders. Membership is cheap (around
$50 or so for the year) and when all is said and done, the Legion is a fine establishment, a place where you can have a great time, get involved, or not. But no matter how you participate, you are supporting veterans and families while simply having fun. Doesn’t sound like a bad idea
to me.
